Carruth CR 100 912 inventory item cr-100-912-0449. Scholarly re-transcription of George D. Watt's original Pitman shorthand report, catalogued at the Church History Library. Papers of George D. Watt MS 4534 box 2 disk 1 July 1853-August 1853 images 131-144. Sermon in Journal of Discourses 2:105; not in CR 100 317; the catalogue description notes the JD version is heavily edited in places. Transcribed by LaJean Purcell Carruth 15 November 2010; corrected by LaJean Purcell Carruth March 2023. Carruth records that images 137 and 138 were scanned out of order and that Watt's shorthand for Joseph Young's preceding sermon is likewise extant and transcribed. Recorded as a separate witness per docs/ingestion.md's Carruth policy; the printed Journal of Discourses 2:105 text stays preferred until this transcription is reviewed against it.
